[Ddclient-support] Can not pass IPv6 IP via -ip option

[Andrey V. <an...@va...>]

Hello *,

 

I'd like to use static ipv6 to update DDNS. I run ddclient using command
line argument "-ip", for example:

 

ddclient -daemon=0 -use=ip -ip=2001:16b8:22e1:1c00:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa -ipv6
-verbose -debug -host=myhost.domain

 

ddclient logs following:

-------------

WARNING:  found neither ipv4 nor ipv6 address

DEBUG:    get_ip: using ip, ip reports <undefined>

WARNING:  unable to determine IP address

------------

 

So far I understand it's a bug that can be fixed with following patch:
